1. Problem solved. Ask for Laynie Tzena.

Some of you are already doing the work you want to do. And at this very moment, someone is out there looking for someone like you. Perhaps you're an artist who wants to reach a wider audience. Or you've created a product or have a service people want, but you need to reach more customers. Ideas Made Real helps people find you, through marketing tailored to your specific audience. People often come

in for help with:

Marketing strategy

Marketing material
Online: Web content, blogs, LinkedIn profile, page(s), Twitter
Offline: From simple [and not so simple] letters to ads, bios, brochures
--basically, if it’s in English, we write it; if it’s in French or Spanish,
we can help. Media relations

Public Speaking, Presentation, and Writing Coaching

2. Some people ask themselves, "Is this all there is?" Maybe you're dealing with burnout--working long hours and coming home exhausted, wondering, "When do I get to do what I want?"

Ideas Made Real helps you take a look at what you really want to do, and start doing it now. That doesn't mean you have to quit your job today. For many people, it's a more gradual process. But it does mean there are steps you can take today to build the life you really want. Ask us about career and business planning. Note: Ideas Made Real does not do testing or placement. We have colleagues who do, and can refer you to them.

3. For some people, most things are going fine but there's just one issue that has been troubling them. One client said, "I'm fine in the boardroom. Help me get from the boardroom to the elevator." He found our training in networking quite helpful. Another said, "I'm fine talking with my customers about what things cost. But when I have to go into the bank and ask for a loan . . . "

For her, role-play (based on IMR's negotiating training) made the difference. And one client said, "This guy on my team drives me nuts!"

We worked together to determine what that team member's goals might be and came up with ways he could achieve them in a productive way. Ideas Made Real offers short-term and long-term coaching and consulting. We've been helping people reach their goals for over 20 years, and look forward to helping you.

January 1, 1892 saw the opening of the Ellis Island Immigration Center in New York. People came from all over to start a new life in the United States. Some came from humble backgrounds, while others had had great wealth only to have to leave it behind as they fled persecution, or actually had it taken from them. But many flourished in their new surroundings and made great contributions to this country, as immigrants do to this day.

Today's Challenge: These days, when the subject of Ellis Island comes up, the talk usually turns to all the names that were changed there. Twelve million people passed through Ellis Island over the years. How many names do you think were changed at the Center?

As usual, skip the search engines for the answer and use your noodle. What do you think would be a likely percentage?

Good luck!
